Whether the influence of pollen cXten 5

question that has not attracted any cunsid

1t is quite evident, however, that there is II
reciprocal action extending far beyond the
ovary, else unfertiliaed ovules would not So
uniformly show the development of the
ovary and surrounding organs or parts.
In the Rose family the embryo fruit is
formed before the flowers expand, and it i,
the same in the Melon family and, in fact,
in large majority of plants the seed-ves
sells and ovules are plainly discernible long
before the flowers appear or the sexual or
gans are developed but if the ovules are
not fortified the entire flower and flower
stalk soon wither and drop off.
When the fertilization occurs, an imme

Sowing seed. in DR., Men,her.

A frequent source of complaint is the
fact of seeds failing to terminate during
long continued dry weather and it is very
important that the gardener should always
apply common sense to his work and not
simply follow routine, for what will suit
for one condition of soil or atmosphere
would be unnecessary, OF even wrong, for
another. | will give case to illustrate.
About the fifth of May of 1871, l sowed Il
large patch of open ground with celery
seed, and another with cabbage seed The
soil was in fine order, and the beds, after
sowing were raked-the celery with fine
steel rake, the cabbage with large wood
en- rake, which covered the seed of each to
the regular depth The weather was dry
with indications of its continuing so, and
after sowing | had both the cabbage and
celery beds rolled heavily, leaving howev-
or, "A strip of each unrolled so that | could
clearly show to some of my young men
what the result of this omission would be
if dry weather continued. Had IA heavy
rain fallen within IA day or two after SOW
ing, it would have compacted the soil and
produced the effect of rolling it. But we
had no rain for three or four weeks, and a
burning-hot atmosphere, passing through
the shallow loose covering of the seeds,
shriveled and dried them up so that it wa.
impossible they could ever terminate, Thi,
little experiment resulted exactly as any
one having experience in seed sowing knew
it must our crop of celery and cabbag,
plants were as fine rs need be ON the rolled
bed. while not one seed in thousand of tn,
celery, and not one in hundred of tn,
cabbage, started in the strips where tn,
soil was left loose II Peter Henderson il

The grape is such IA delicious fruit, and
so easily raised, that every one who has a
few rods of ground should plant grapes.
The instructions in some of the old Europe
an books ON the vine, in regard to the eab-
crate preparation of the soil by trenching.
etc, are not only dscouraging but mislead
ing. Almost any good soil will answer, if
not wet. The vines may be planted in the
garden or yard, or by the house the latter
being about the best situation of any. The
roots in such case run under the house, and
along the foundation wall and are protect
ed from sudden changes while obtaining
the small amount of moisture necessary for
their healthy growth. The training Of the
vines ON the house is also beneficial as
there is always more or less warmth in the
walls, which is communicated 10 the vines,
giving them protection in winter and aid
ing them in ripening the crop in summer
The danger To the house from dampness
which is feared by some is wholly imagi-
nary. The leaves, it will be found instead
of producing dampness, prevent il, and the
vines if properly cared for will be orna-
mental rather than otherwise OF the diff
ferent sides of the house the east and south
are best, while the north and west are least
favorable, Almost any building can be
utilized, and any one who loves grapes may
have the sides of the house, the shop, the
woodshed, the smoke house, and even the
barn covered with the choicest fruit.

There is a good way to judge what prog
ress country has made in the reiinements
of civilization. 1t is measured by the num-
Der of dogs. Moral and intellectual ad-
vuncement will generally be found in in
verse proportion to the number Of dogs to
population. Happily, this state has arrived
at such "A state of progress that dogs like
rum and tobacco, are taxed. The law has
greatly abated the useless dog nuisance in
Vermont. Yet it is still true, even here,
that the exceptionally poor man usually
keeps one dog, and his poorer neighbor FIRE
uuenty has more than one. In "A case in
which the town was called upon for aid,
three dogs, for which the owner had paid
the license fees, were found living in the
family.
All dogs are considered extremely valua
bic by their owners The exceptions t.
this rule are rare An insult to the dog OF
IA disparaging remark about him is quickly
resented by his owner and all the family
That his dog has been guilty of any wrong
is one of the last things of which an ordin
AIRY man can he convinced. Thousands o
dollars are paid for licenses for dogs tina
everybody except the owners consider nui
sances At least three fourths Of all tn
dogs licensed in this state could well b.
spared and all the unlicensed dogs, an'
dogs roaming about without collars. A
this time, when the sheep are just turne'
out to pasture, it will be well to look afte
the dogs if any are roaming about tn
neighborhood. Though we now have few
err dogs here than in most other parts q
the country, in one of the towns of thi
county they have slaughtered sheep b

How to Figh, the Cooling Moth.

Extract from Bulletin issued by the State En-
tOmologist of Illinois.
To determine its value as an insecticide,
arsenic in solution was compared with Paris
green The arsenic solution was made by
boiling one ounce of arsenic in one quart of
water, and adding this solution to 20 gals.
of cold water. The Paris green mixture
consisted of three fourths of an ounce OF
this substance containing l5.4 per cent
metallic arsenic) stirred in two and one half
gals water A fine, mist-hke spray of the
liquid was applied until the leaves began to
drip. The number of apples examined on
eight trees, two of which were sprayed
with the arsenic solution and six with Paris
green, up to Oct. 4, was IS, GSS. Eight un
treated trees were used as checks. During
1885 Paris green was also used as noted
above, and go per cent of the fruit which
would otherwise have been sacrificed To the
cooling moth was saved. In the 1856 eX-
periments, 3 per cent was saved from fall
ing by single spraying, !, per cent 10y
two, and about - per cent 10y three spray
ings The benefit to the picked fruit ap-
parent from single spraying was placed
Mt IL per cent from two 80 per cent, and
three at - per cent, or as summarized,
spraying in early spring, before the young
apples had dropped upon their stems, saved
- per cent of the apples exposed to injury
from codling moth. The weather conditions
prevailing shortly after the poison is ap
piled will have much to do with its efficacy
The best results from the application Of
Paris green were secured upon the appear
ance of the first brood. Experimental facti
point to ineilicacy as applied tolater broods
1t is not recommended to poison full grow
apples. In fact, spraying after the apple
have begun to hang downward is unques
tionably dangerous, and should nerer b
done if the fruit is TO be used In compar
ing arsenic with Paris green, the expert
ments show decided advantage III favo
of the latter. Trees sprayed with arseni
scorched the leaves, while Paris green pro
duced no injurious effects, Prof. Forbe
finally concludes that at least 10 per cent q
the loss commonly suffered by the frui
grower from the codling moth may be pre-
vented at nominal expense, by thorough
applying Paris green in "A spray with water
